The 2026 Kona Preferred with the Trend Package brings together a solid balance of performance, comfort, and modern features in a compact SUV. Under the hood it uses a 2.0litre fourcylinder engine paired with Hyundai's Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT). You’ll get around 147 hp and 132 lbft of torque, which isn’t rockstar fast but is competent for city driving, daily errands, and light highway work. Fuel efficiency is more than reasonable: the combined estimate is about 8.6L/100km, with city and highway figures around 9.0 and 8.1.
On the inside and feature side, the Preferred Trend adds a number of upgrades that make the Kona feel more premium without pushing into luxury price territory. Some highlights include heated front seats, a leatherwrapped steering wheel and shift knob, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a power sunroof, remote start, and LED lighting touches. The safety and driver assist suite is strong: you get adaptive cruise control (with stopandgo in many cases), lane keeping/following systems, forward collision avoidance, blindspot collision warning, rear crosstraffic alert, and more. Overall, the 2026 Kona Preferred Trend is a good choice if you want an SUV with extra style and comfort upgrades.
